Hey there! I just got the iPhone 16 Pro 1TB, and it’s overheating like crazy. It’s kinda scary, feels like it might explode in my hand while I’m typing this. I bought it less than 24 hours ago. Any tips? Also, what’s the return policy? Thanks

See my earlier reply where I explain about many aftermarket third-party MagSafe cases that are poorly designed and have a misaligned MagSafe ring, causing excessive heat generation and slow charging. TL;DR: take your case off and see if the phone still gets hot during charging
Great and thorough Answer, Lawrence!

That is incorrect. See especially the third paragraph is Lawrence Finch’s excellent response.
Have you updated to iOS 18.2 that was just released 3 days ago? There are community members in other threads saying it solved their heat issue.
I never really had a heat issue, but my iPhone definitely is cooler under iOS 18.2

I haven't had coffee yet, so my caffeine deprived mind, didn't think you were watching a downloaded movie!
Still the same answer. You are watching a movie. Do you not understand that playing videos makes your battery work harder, whether it was previously downloaded or is already stored on your device?
If your phone is showing a thermometer or shutting down, that's not normal and should be checked out at your Apple Store Genius Bar. If your phone isn't shutting down or showing a thermometer, it is NOT overheating.
How do I fix heating issue on my iPhone 16 Pro?
